Dellingr - God of Norse Mythology

Dellingr is, in norse mythology, the god of Dawn, or the personification of dawn. There are a few translations which say the name Dellingr means "The Shining One." Like many other gods, his name is not often mentioned in any versions of the Edda. What is known though is that he is the third husband of a giant-woman namend Nótt (which means "night") and together they have a son called Dagr (which translates to "day") So, mythology has it, that the Dawn and the Night gave birth to the Day.
